Did I forget to mention that the Wade and Butcher you honed for me was the test run?













I kid, I kid. I have brass, but not that much

I have amazing news everyone, it's truly a miracle. When I was sleeping, the hone fairy broke into my house and swapped out my coticule and slurry stone with a set that looks IDENTICAL to it. I tried my hand at honing a BJ Eyre Challenge razor this morning. Before I hit the hone, the blade could barely saw through hair. I went through the heavy slurry circles/x strokes, misty slurry with x strokes, then x strokes with water and it took an edge quite well. I was even able to shave my neck with it. It would probably benefit from my Naniwa 12k, but I'll definitely take this as a big win. There truly is a sense of accomplishment when shaving with a razor that you honed up.

Mighty kind of the hone fairy to help me out

congrats ... i love my coticule edges .... i was getting my razors close to where i wanted them when i first got my coticule ... and have a fast one i use if the bevel dont need much to reset , since then ive only used my coticules and zulu stones and after A LOT of playing around i got a good system that works for me and my results are consistent and awesome on my face .. if your like me the more you use your coticule the better you will get your edges and honestly i prefer my coticule edge to any other i have !!!
